Goal Two: The “Do” in “DIY!”

Posted on by

Anyone else out there love Pinterest?  I’m a bit obsessed…honestly I can’t get enough of it!!  However, I do need to get better about actually following through and “doing”…rather than just “pinning!”

I need to cook the meals, mix the drinks, paint the walls, sew the dress, knit the scarf, make the earrings, style my hair…etc.  Pinterest has just become my one big to-do list…and my second goal for 2012 is to start the “Do” in “Do It Yourself!!”

Here are two projects I pinned awhile ago from In Honor of Design…and just got the supplies for!  Let the “doing” officially begin!!

**Click project name or photo for full DIY instructions! **

{Tassel Earrings}

{Sequin Clutch}

{My Purchased Supplies!}

…I promise to post an update when I’m finished making these cute accessories!! 

Any fun DIY projects you are working on?

The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow,

while some trees of the tenderer kind

had been nipped by the frosts

into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.

~Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Poetry Snippet…

The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I’ll put a trinket on.

~Emily Dickinson, Autumn
